Lasiosphaeria stuppea?
Gernot Friebes, 23-01-2011 21:42
Hi,

I think this collection is close to Lasiosphaeria stuppea but still differs a bit in some aspects. First of all the description:

On a standing, dead, decorticated, little tree (Abies), approx. 150 cm above the ground. Ascomata black, rough, at first immersed in the substrate, when mature still often a bit immersed, usually covered with light brown setae but some ascomata also without; asci 8-spored, without subapical globulus, with well visible, simple apical ring; spores quite a long time hyaline, then turning brown, non-septate, smooth, bent in the middle, without appendages, 35-50 x 8-13 µm; peridium two-layered, with a thick, dark brown outer layer and a thinner, hyaline inner layer.

I hesitate to call my collection Lasiosphaeria stuppea because the spores seem too long and they are smooth, non-septate and the apical ring is simple and not double. The other characters fit well with the description by Candoussau, Fournier, & Magni. I am really interested in your opinion about this find!

Best wishes,

Gernot

Hi Gernot

do you have any micros? I know mainly L. strigosa which is now Echinosphaeria strigosa. But your spores are actually much too large for this and stuppea. Are the setae very thick-walled?

sorry for the delay, I had problems with the computer.

Hi Gernot,
this fungus indeed resembles "Lasiosphaeria" stuppea in many respects but it apparently deviates in ascospore size and morphology and in lacking tubercles around the ostiole.
Several similar collections on various hosts, all somewhat different, are under investigation by Andrew Miller. You should contact him if he did not yet read your message.
Cheers,
Jacques

Re:Lasiosphaeria stuppea?
Hi Zotto and Jacques,

thanks for your answers! I wonder if one species can be that variable or if there are some similar species in that complex. I will try to contact Andrew.

Best wishes,

Gernot

Gernot,

Like many things fungal, this is a species complex that is currently trying to be sorted out by DNA.
